By now, most of us have had enough time to try and digest what happened on February 5th, 2017. That day will forever be a scar in Falcons’ history—one that only a Super Bowl victory will be able to help us forget. Now that they’ve reached the cusp of greatness, many will be expecting Atlanta to get back there very soon, as soon as next season.

Thanks to drafting extremely well the past few seasons, signing impact free agents, and intelligently filling out the roster, the Falcons are in a position to get right back to the top, and this time they’ll be equipped to finish the fight. The Falcons don’t have many needs, but we’ll address the most glaring ones here, in no particular order. Continue reading →

This week, see if Michael and Cory can dig themselves out of the deep, dark abyss of depression that was the Falcons’ devastating and unfathomable Super Bowl loss. They’ll talk through their free agency wish lists, pretending the agonizing pain of blowing a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl isn’t still staring them in the face (at least for Michael it is). The two will do their best to provide you with some hope going into next season, break down the latest coaching changes, and Cory struggles with some unwanted gas (no context needed). Enjoy!

This week, Michael and Cory were joined by Falcons’ legend and former All-Pro running back, Michael “The Burner” Turner. We checked in with Turner to see what he’s been up to since retiring in 2012, what differences he sees in Matt Ryan this season, and we get his take on which team would win: the ’12 Falcons or the ’16 Falcons. Enjoy!

Two of the most vocal Matt Ryan doubters/haters on Twitter during recent seasons have been @SwiftHitter and @lindseyyok. Attempting to engage in any kind of Ryan-related discussion with either individual was a pointless effort, typically met with responses emphasizing that Ryan sucks in the playoffs and throws interceptions, or how he wasn’t #elite like Joe Flacco or as good as Andy Dalton.

With Matt Ryan about to play in the Super Bowl and just named Most Valuable Player, it seemed as good a time as any to collect and relive his prominent critics’ tweets from the last five years.

Presented below in reverse-chronological order without commentary, because why mar fine art with commentary?

In this episode, Michael, Cory, and our guest Allen Strk of The Falcoholic break down the incredible win over Green Bay, matchups to watch in the Super Bowl, and whether we’d rather win the big game in a blow out or a last-second, heart-attack inducing way.

The Rise Up Reader podcast returns with another episode, and this time Michael and Cory are joined by long-time Falcons’ analyst and friend, Aaron Freeman of falcfans.com.

In this episode, we break down the biggest takeaways from the big playoff win against the Seahawks, talk about what to expect against Green Bay, and play another round of “Would You Rather”. Are you taking Matt Ryan or Aaron Rodgers in the final minute to win the game? Join the conversation by commenting below.

The Falcons wasted another top-10 pick. He isn’t strong enough to compete in the NFL. I wanted the local RB Todd Gurley. Vic Beasley is a bust. That is what was said prior to the 2016 season after just one professional year in the NFL for the eighth-overall pick in the 2015 draft.
